Could you build this?
Partial The map interface and filtering system are simple to build, but aggregating, deduplicating, and keeping fresh local event data across dozens of countries requires complex web scraping pipelines or commercial data feeds.
What it would actually take: The UI and backend can be built with Next.js, Mapbox/Leaflet, and PostgreSQL/PostGIS. The difficult part is building automated ETL pipelines with headless browsers (Playwright/Puppeteer) or LLM parsers to constantly scrape, normalize, geocode, and deduplicate events from fragmented sources (Meetup, Eventbrite, Facebook Events, local municipal sites) without getting blocked.
